02x06 - Prison Break

[bunniefuu]

All right!

It's time to get our mission to

save Chrome into full swing.

Our plan is simple.

Here goes: First, we use the

powered-up Steam Gorilla

to break down Chrome's

bamboo prison.

Then, we run.

That's all.

[OTHERS groan]

That is pretty

simple, all right.

Indeed. But it needs to be

quick, before they find out.

And our precious Steam Gorilla's

meant for one-time-use.

Senku doesn't have much

ouble-tray letting go of things.

[KASEKI crying]

We can't trash our adorable

little Steam Gorilla!

We don't have that

much time, though.

It's Chrome, you know.

He's gonna start runnin'

his mouth before too long.

[CHROME]

I'm a scientist!

Rainbow flames!

Truth is, we may already

be too late on that.

Yeah, that's a very good point.

So let's get ready

to set out ASAP!

[ALL]

Yeah!

[SUIKA]

We'll save him!

[TSUKASA] Senku's not the

type to abandon his friends.

I have no doubt

he'll use science

to develop a way to save Chrome.

Maybe even build a steam

engine to stage an as*ault.

That's why we'll all be

counting on your strength.

You need my strength?

I interviewed you back

in the pre-stone days,

at the police martial

arts tourney?

You completely aced

the baton category.

You were a crazy police

officer who's crazy strong.

So, I'm asking you

to oversee the prison

and all traps surrounding it.

Well, Yo?

You bet, yo!

Oh, yeah! Just leave

everything to Yo!

I can use the prisoner as bait

to take down this Senku guy

and his entire g*ng

of baddies, too!

Ahh.

[CHROME] I'll bust myself out

before Senku gets here!

With the power of science!

I got this, 'cause I'm Chrome,

the bad science user.

[CHROME]

Hmm...

How the hell am I gonna

do this, though?

Tsukasa's guys took away all

the science stuff I had on me

when I got caught.

[sighs]

[CHROME] The walls and floor are

way too hard to dig through.

Guess I could spend a few days

grinding down the rope

that holds the bamboo

bars together?

[CHROME whistling]

[CHROME]

No, that's never gonna work.

Now, what would Senku

do in this situation?

I gotta formulate

an escape plan.

[grunts]

[CHROME]

Damn it! That won't work either.

I can't just imitate Senku.

[YO]

And... boom!

[YO] What'd ya expect me to do,

give ya a slap on the wrist?

You ruined the trap.

And the guilty ones always

gotta pay for their crimes.

[YO] But that's enough.

We're good, okay?

Yeah. I'm sorry, Yo.

No need to apologize,

I said, "We're good."

In fact, if any of

these boneheads

try to give you grief about it,

I'd be happy to make them pay.

[laughs]

I like this new

world, it's simple.

[CRIMINAL A]

Thank you for helping us

wipe our slate clean, sir.

Oh, sure. Fine.

[CRIMINAL A] I couldn't

imagine going to prison

for something harmless,

like tax evasion.

[laughs]

These are for you.

[chuckles]

These steamed buns

look awfully tasty.

Let's toast.

I'll pour you a drink.

[CRIMINAL A]

Thank you very much, sir.

[YO]

And... boom!

What the--?

[YO laughs]

It looks like I've found

a couple of baddies!

--[COP A] Grab 'em!

--[COP B] Move! Move!

And boom! Boom!

--[YO gasps]

--[CRIMINAL A yells]

[g*nsh*t]

The baddie ran away,

so I sh*t him.

The way I look at it,

I did nothing wrong.

I mean, who wants to

go through some big

pain-in-the-ass trial, anyway?

He's a bad guy,

so just k*ll 'im!

Boom, right?

[BOSS A gasps]

[BOSS A growls]

[BOSS A]

You're fired!

I kinda had no future

in the old world.

So hooray for the

reset, ya know?

[CHROME] Uh-oh. Is that

guy the prison boss?

Bad news for me. I can't make

a move while he's around.

Because in the stone

world we're in,

I can make it to the top.

You see, how things work now,

Tsukasa, Hyoga, and Ukyo

are the three kings, right?

Except that's, like,

completely wrong.

It's the four kings.

With myself included.

Which means,

I gotta put on a good show

so I can take my throne.

And once I'm at the top...

[MEN]

Uh...

[YO]

Uh.

[clears throat]

So then, I'll use that primitive

guy to lure--Senku, was it?--

right into a pit trap.

One wrong step and boom!

There he goes with

all his bad buddies!

I'm gonna make this

plan work, ya hear?

If it's the last

thing I ever do.

[MAN H]

Not so loud.

[YO]

Huh?

All I'm trying to say

is I'm pretty sure he

heard that whole thing.

So what?

It's not like he can talk

to his buddies or anything.

Don't sweat it.

Besides, he's just a monkey boy.

[CHROME growls, yells]

Who do you think you're

calling a weak, twig-armed,

beansprout looking,

dumbass monkey boy?

What? I didn't say all that.

You're gonna regret

this, you hear me?!

[CHROME]

Damn it.

These people may see me

as some kind of moronic,

primitive guy who

doesn't know anything,

but they'll be sorry

when I use science

to bust outta this cage!

Uh.

[MAN G]

Hmm...

[CHROME]

Mh-hm! Mh-hm!

[CHROME]

No matter how long I try

to think about some genius plan,

I'm just not as smart as Senku.

First, I need to

gather up materials.

That's always been my specialty.

Less thinking, more action.

Search! That's where

my science begins!

So what's up, man?

Do you really wanna watch me

go take a dump, or something?

Shut up! Just do it, okay?

[whistling]

[CHROME]

All right, this is my loot.

Now let's see...

Is there anything I can

use to help me escape?

Aw, yeah! Check it out!

A four-leaf clover!

Ruri and I used to hunt for

these things like crazy!

Those were good times!

Who cares?!

How am I supposed

to escape with this?

It's just grass and twigs!

[MAN C]

Hm?

[CHROME whistling]

[sighs]

[CHROME]

Twigs.

This'll work.

If I can set fire to the ropes

binding the bamboo together,

I'm out!

[CHROME]

I can't.

There's no way I'm starting

a fire with these tiny sticks!

Fire. Damn it!

[CHROME]

If only I had that battery.

But they took it away

when I was captured.

[CHROME snoring]

[MAN C]

Uh?

Huh?

[CHROME snoring]

[CHROME] Bad ass! Where'd

the battery come from?

Of course! It was

Taiju and Yuzuriha!

Thank you guys so much

for sneaking this in for me!

Now let's do this.

Gotta operate under

the cover of darkness.

Hook the positive and

negative ends together, and...

[MEN gasp]

[screams]

[MAN H]

I saw a flash! It's a fire!

[MAN E]

I smell a match!

[MAN H]

And what was that sound?

Yo, monkey boy.

Did you honestly believe that

we wouldn't notice a fire?

But still, you were

able to light it. How?

Huh? And why the hell

would I tell you?

Don't underestimate

science users!

[CHROME]

This is bad.

This jerk's gonna

find my battery!

[YO]

Hm.

Ah, rubbed some sticks

together, did ya?

Too bad. Must've been hard work.

[CHROME] Whoa, I got

lucky. That was close.

So glad I brought

this stuff in here.

[YO laughing]

[YO] Hang on, let me make sure

I've got this straight, okay?

When you say that you're

a "science user,"

this is what you're

talking about,

you primitive monkey boy?

That's so freakin' pathetic!

[YO laughing]

No. I shouldn't laugh.

It's not your fault

you're a caveman.

Sorry. Truly.

[YO laughing]

But if you didn't know.

When you rub some wood

together, it gets hot.

Rub 'em good and boom!

Science. It's powerful stuff.

I'd never underestimate science!

Hah! Crap, I can't

stop laughing!

I'm sorry. You're too

funny, monkey boy!

[ALL laughing]

[CHROME]

To hell with this jerk!

For your information,

I used a metal battery, dude!

How's that for "primitive," huh?

[CHROME]

No. Science is not for bragging.

Gotta keep my eyes on the prize.

Matter of fact,

I should make him think

I'm some backwards dummy.

All right, I'll show you guys

some badass science!

Don't wet yourselves!

First off, did you even know

that you can boil down

seawater to get salt?

'Cause I bet you had no idea!

[ALL laughing]

You just blew my mind!

You're a scientist, after all!

Oh, man! Good luck with that.

A seawater prison break!

It's gonna be something!

[MAN F]

What a dope!

[CHROME

Seawater prison break...

[SENKU] We'll separate the

salt water with electricity.

And we've acquired

sodium hydroxide.

The yakuza use it to

melt enemy corpses.

[CHROME] I might actually

be able to melt the ropes

with sodium hydroxide.

I imagine that

wouldn't be too tough.

I've got electricity.

All I need now is salt water.

Senku used seawater,

but I won't be getting

any of that in here.

Though there is one sure-fire

way to get salt water.

[yelling]

Uh, the hell's he doin'?

[MAN E]

Ugh. Who cares?

[CHROME]

I can pull this off.

[CHROME whistling]

[CHROME]

How do you like me now?

I'm melting through the fibers

using a chemically

decomposed liquid.

This is how ol' Chrome does

a scientific prison break.

[BOTH gasp]

Bad news! There's a huge

bear in the jail cell!

[CHROME] The bear was a lie,

but it threw 'em off.

Gen really taught me

the value of a good bluff.

This is the moment

I've been waiting for!

Just one second is all I need...

to get the hell outta here!

Surprised ya, huh?

I pole vault all the time

whenever I go out scavenging.

[MEN laughing]

[CHROME]

Heh.

That primitive dude knows

where all the traps are!

Yo, sir.

[YO yells]

What the hell? He's out?

How did he break through

the bars? And all at once?!

The rope, it's melted!

Crazy! Did he use science?

That same monkey boy

who was rubbing sticks

together did this?

Stop, you!

[BOTH yelp]

[CHROME]

Aww, too scared to chase me?

It must be because Yo b*at the

ever-loving crap outta the guy

who ruined that one trap.

That's what happens when you

punish mistakes too hard.

[CHROME] The guy used our smoke

screen to his advantage.

I stole this handy little

strategy from Ukyo.

Learn the enemy's traps and

turn 'em back against 'em!

This is bad, though.

That Yo guy's after me,

'cause he's not scared of taking

a b*ating from himself.

[YO yelling]

[CHROME]

Whoa!

Damn! He's crazy fast!

You stupid monkey boy!

I'm trying to make

it all the way

to the top of the stone

world, you hear me?

Hey, Chrome!

I don't care if you live or die,

but I'm not gonna let

you get away from me!

[CHROME]

Bad news. It's a dead end!

[CHROME]

I guess I'll just have to fight!

[YO]

Boom!

[YO]

Yo, you really are a moron, huh?

You must be if you think that

an ape with a bamboo pole

has any chance against a cop

with modern day combat training.

I'll give you a choice.

Do you wanna go back to the cell

with the crap beaten outta you,

or do you want me to just throw

your dead body back in there?

You screwed up, boy.

But I'll forgive you.

We'll work it out, somehow.

I don't care. It's the

same to me, either way.

'Cause honestly...

...I've only got a few

days left to live.

Huh?

What the hell is wrong with you?

[YO gasping]

[YO] That can't all be

from a cut in the mouth.

This guy is seriously

throwing up blood!

I caught it in the

village a while back.

I tried to keep it quiet.

I didn't want them

to worry about me.

But it's too late for me now.

Pneumonia.

And for you bastards

without science,

this disease is a

real death sentence.

[gasping]

[screaming]

Hey! No! Stop!

You're getting it all over me,

you dirty little caveman!

[CHROME]

Here's the thing.

I may not have modern

day combat training,

but I've mastered one move.

And here it goes!

[YO screams]

[gasps]

[KOHAKU]

No way!

[VILLAGERS gasping]

[SUIKA]

Chrome is free, you guys!

[KASEKI] You broke outta

there all by yourself!

Way to go, boy!

I'm impressed you knew how

to find our camp so easily.

Honestly, I didn't know

where the hell it was.

I just went in the direction

that I saw Suika go

when she was scouting,

and hoped you'd be able to

see me with the telescope.

Another excellent job by

the Great Detective Suika.

[SUIKA giggles]

But I'm curious.

How did you manage to break

through the cell bars?

Oh, that?

With my awesome science.

It was like seriously bad.

I made that melty chemical stuff

with some salt water

and a battery.

Sodium hydroxide, right?

[VILLAGER A]

Whoa!

[VILLAGER B]

That's awesome!

It's actually sodium

hypochlorite.

You're close.

But that's what you must've

made in there instead,

since you didn't have any kind

of membrane in the salt water.

It's what folks in my

day called "bleach."

[GEN]

Powers up your cleaning!

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU]

It's a perfectly useful base.

Great idea to use it, too.

It melted right through all

the cellulose in the weeds

they made the rope from.

Can't think of a better way to

break out of a bamboo prison.

Awesome job, Chrome.

I'll give ya ten billion points!

Heh.

Hang on, speaking of sodium

hydroxide, wasn't that...?

Oh, yeah.

While you were

doing all of that,

we were using an

alkaline solution

to melt down cellulose

for making paper.

Ha! That's amazing.

So Senku and Chrome

were basically using

the same type of science.

Huh?

Hey, Chrome. You're bleeding.

[SUIKA gasping]

Oh, no. That's like

what happened to me!

Poor Chrome must've caught

pneumonia while he was in there!

[VILLAGER A]

It's terrible.

[VILLAGER B]

Chrome!

Just kidding!

I don't understand? You're okay?

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU]

You have a lot of plants, too.

I try them on myself.

And I keep the ones

I think are good.

[SENKU laughs]

Did you really use fake blood

to make those guys

stop chasing you?

You bet! I knew Professor

Senku would understand.

[CHROME]

Chew up some sorrel...

[CHROME]

And mix in a little shiso...

[CHROME]

And boom, fake blood!

[SENKU laughs]

That's awesome!

'Course Shiso turns red

mixed with the oxalic

acid from sorrel.

Uh-huh! My science

is from experience.

Not bad at all, Chrome.

You're a real science user.

[CHROME]

Yeah!

[VILLAGERS laughing]

I'm so happy that he doesn't

actually have pneumonia!

This red water smells

kinda familiar to me.

It's just like plums

pickled in shiso.

This stuff's just umeboshi ?

Damn that monkey!
